But if it’s permissively licenced, couldn’t I just copy bits and pieces for my own project without asking?
Like I understand asking is always better and an opt in process for “the stack” or wtv would have been better received. Nevertheless, did they really have a legal obligation, rather than moral obligation, to ask given how this is licensed?
Taking GPL code would be a different situation right? They would have to also include it in their model creation… which theoretically they just could.

…do you know what the word “consensually” means? 🤦🏻

Most of those “permissive” licenses require redistributors to redistribute copies of the license texts in derivative works. But I bet these AI models aren’t doing that. And it’s a damn neat certainty that the vibe coders who use the AI model are not attaching a license disclosure containing every permissive licenses in GitHub. Even if their vibe coded app is arguably a derivative work.

You can’t use GPL for LLMs if you don’t include a copy of the GPL license or link to the GPL license, you would also have to deal with conflicting licenses, somehow
